After 4 years George can follow the good example of his father ....

pack his stuff and go home with his red tail beneath his legs

Here is a comparison of the major candidates thats better than you'll ever find in the American media (except maybe our public media):

Kerry isn't perfect, but when you see him side by side with curious george, you suddenly want him canonized.

Reporter: How do you respond to the accusations that your policies are fueling terrorism recruitment?

Bush: They misunderstand the War on Terror.

I find this comic to be good and true enough regarding that:

Never mind, you'd need a subscription now it seems.  Basically it has a guy listening to a TV commercial about Bush promised to be a uniter, not a divider, and now three years later Muslims are united in their rage against America, and that a whole new generation of holy warriors has arisen.  It goes on to go, God Willing he will be re-elected.  Then the final line "My name is Usama bin Laden, and I approved this message".

Ha, thats a good one.  I love Doonesbury.  Oh BTW, here's a link to the same strip that actually works:

Thanks for the working link, the description I gave doesn't do it justice!

Why is there still Kerry now on CNN? I haven't seen any other candidate talking there last month yet. Is he some kind of medial magnate or what?

[ordos45]

His Party's convention was just finished.  Look for all Bush later this month when the Republicans hold their convention. 

[Wolf]

Is the GOP holding a convention of some form?

[ordos45]

www.2004nycgop.org/  August 30 through September 2 in New York City.  Should prove...interesting.

[Wolf]

Do they let normal people attend these conventions?

[ordos45]

I think, much like with the Dems, you need to be an elected delegate, a volunteer, or from the Press to get in.  It doesn't really say from what I can see on the site.  So that's my assumption*.

*Assumption is mine alone, it does not necessarily reflect the views of the candidates and the Republican Party.

[Wolf]

So, it's unlikely that I could simply walk in with my popcorn, coke, and peanut m&m's and just sort of watch and make jokes?

[HasimirFenring]

Well, the Democratic convention had republicans protesting (waving bush-cheney signs) right outside...  They probably won't let people in without an invitation.

Nader, The best canidate of em all. GO NADER!!!! WOOOO! :)

OHHHHHH yah!!!

[desert_storm]

If I could vote I would serisouly think about voting for Nader.  But then again I wouldn't.  Bcause I know nader has no chace of winning so I would give my vote to Kerry.  Anything to get bush out of office.

I wish you could vote, and I wish that every American had as much sense as you do.  You support the best candidate, but vote for the most liberal one who has a chance of winning.
